In June 2012, I reached my heaviest weight for many years at 16 stone 0.9lb. By January 2013 I hadn't managed to lose much and weighed in at 15 stone 6.8lbs. I knew I needed to do something drastic and 'stumbled' across the fast diet, so I thought I'd give it a go.

I started towards the end of January and fell into 4:3 virtually from the start (Monday, Thursday & Saturday) and have found it surprisingly easy. I weigh every Monday and as of this morning's weigh in, my weight starts with an 11 - albeit I'm 11 stone 13.4lbs! I have lost 3.5 stone since the beginning of the year and over 4 stone in total. I haven't weighed this 'little' in 20 years. I've gone from a size 20/22 to a size 14.

Needless to say I'm absolutely delighted!

Hi Dhana - I'm not sure as such that my health has improved. I don't have any of the aches and pains I previously had in my back and legs, though.

I've got a doctors check up next week when I'll have my blood pressure checked, but I didn't really have blood pressure problems before losing the weight.

I guess I just generally feel better because I'm not carrying all that extra weight around and the weight loss was the reason I started this WOL.
